Fitting Fibreglass Bonnet And Hatch

[Spiky 37]

ok, ordered my bits from magnum motorsport.

 

he says the rear hatch just fits onto hinges then i guess i bonnet pin the bottom to keep shut???

or should i use 4 bonnet pins??

 

anyone have pics?

 

 

on the bonnet i didnt ask if it can be hindged

 

but look at project's pics i could fit using self tappers? but would they be strong enough, and should i forgot that idea and just use 4 bonnet pins?

For the hatch use the hinges and 2 bonnet pins. Or maybe lockable Aerocatches if you plan on leaving the car anywhere overnight.

 

For the bonnet use pins at the rear and the Aerocatches you have already bought at the front.

mmm aero catch at the rear would really look smart,

 

gone off the std one;s

 

so maybe 4 on the bonnet :DD:

 

will see how much room i to play with when they come

I fitted the hatch with 4 bonnet pins on mine.

[Spiky 37]

did you keep the rubber seal.

 

does it rattle much?

[smighall 1]

I can't remember if the rubber seal is still on it, i think it is at the moment.

 

I don't think it rattles, well i can't hear it over the exhaust and engine anyway.

 

Just put some hose pipe or similar over the under the panel to pin it tight anyway, that should stop any rattling.

only asking as im off to the ring in a few weeks and having that rattle for 10hrs, would probably piss me off.lol

[Spiky 37]

My bonnet alone was £97.52 delivered to my door. Im half way through fitting the bonnet but i cant get pictures up yet as a virus has disabled my pc and my laptop doesn't have a card reader. Going to buy a external mcr to try get the ics on soon.

 

Cheers
